Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

The historical stereotype of oppressed women strapped into suffocating corsets is being challenged by research suggesting they may have been more comfortable than contemporary bras.

The controversial take has been put forward by Australian academic Dr. Sarah Bendall, the author of a new book Shaping Femininity: Foundation Garments, the Body and Women in Early Modern England.

The Australian Catholic University researcher based in Sydney says corsets were far less restrictive than people think and their main advantage was in providing breast support before bras were invented.

For some women at least, she says they were probably more comfy than today’s brassieres with their straps and underwires.

“They supported the whole torso, so they didn’t cut into the back,” Bendall says.

“For big-breasted women, that is probably more comfortable than a modern bra.”

Bendall concedes it’s not possible to directly compare contemporary notions of comfort with those experienced by women of yesteryear.

Women’s bodies were different with large numbers of pregnancies and extended breast-feeding.

You think maybe they'll want background checks and waiting periods for women buying bras.

I would think corsets to be more comfy, but heck, what do I know, other than nothing is best.  Smiley

The only thing men like about bras is we get to take them off women!

Democrats believe they own you, your body, your labor, your property, and your children!

Remember Democrats have long advocated matching the CCP's one-child policy in America!

The time has come to terminate the pandemic state of emergency. It’s time to end the controls, the closures, the restrictions, the plexiglass, the stickers, the exhortations, the panic-mongering, the distancing announcements, the ubiquitous commercials, the forced masking, the vaccine mandates.
